"Hahaha, everyone, Lin Chen's spiritual energy is running out. Hurry up and attack!"
Wu Zhixiong, standing nearby, also noticed this scene and immediately shouted to the cultivators who were surrounding and attacking Lin Chen.
He had already considered it before. No matter what, Lin Chen only had the cultivation of the middle stage of Core Formation.
Even if he had now broken through to the middle stage of Core Formation, the gap in cultivation realm could definitely not be compensated by mere moves!
Moreover, cultivators with lower realms had limited spiritual energy that their meridians could hold.
Lin Chen's moves were indeed powerful, forcing even veterans like them to evade his sharpest attacks.
But precisely because of this, the speed at which these moves consumed spiritual energy must also be terrifying.
It was perfectly understandable that Lin Chen, having used several moves in succession, now had insufficient spiritual energy reserves within his body!
But this meant that their chance to counterattack had finally arrived!
As long as they could kill Lin Chen while his spiritual energy was weak, they would never have to worry about this enemy again!
And more importantly, after killing him, they would not only have avenged Wu Quan'gui and his son.
They would also be able to retrieve the Sect Master's Golden Token and the Li Huo Bracelet!
This was absolutely a case of killing three birds with one stone for them!
"Yes! Sect Master!"
Upon hearing Wu Zhixiong's words, a group of elders from the Blazing Fire Sect immediately reacted.
That was right, regardless of anything, Lin Chen's cultivation realm was there. Before, they had feared his Spirit Sword Art, which was why they had only circled around him and no one dared to step forward to fight him to the death.
But now that his spiritual energy was depleted, there was naturally nothing to fear.
"Brat, how dare you kill our Supreme Elder? Today, you will pay the price!"
"Don't fight over him, everyone. Leave this person to me. I will personally avenge the Supreme Elder!"
"Hmph, I'm going first. Don't try to snatch him from me!"
Upon learning that Lin Chen's spiritual energy was depleted, the attitudes of these elders completely changed.
Previously timid and hesitant, they now began to vie for who would strike first.
If one didn't know better, they might actually think these Blazing Fire Sect elders were incredibly brave!
"Junior brother, be careful!"
Seeing their actions, Zhao Ying, who was beside him, also looked worried and quickly reminded Lin Chen.
Her formation could not hold out much longer. After all, there were too many people in the valley below, and the time they could be trapped was very limited.
If Lin Chen's spiritual energy was depleted and he could no longer provide her with support, her formation would be broken in no time!
With the strength of the cultivators below the valley now, like wolves and tigers, the two of them might very well die here today!
"Hoo, don't worry, senior sister!"
"Golden Dragon Transformation!"
Seeing the menacing approach of those in front, Lin Chen took a deep breath and then took out three Grade Three Spirit Replenishing Pills from his storage bag, swallowing them directly.
As the pills dissolved, a pure medicinal force instantly filled Lin Chen's dantian, completely replenishing all the depleted spiritual energy.
"Holy crap! Grade Three Spirit Replenishing Pills! Three at once?"
"Am I seeing things? Which major power does this Lin Chen belong to?"
Seeing Lin Chen's extravagant action, a group of people widened their eyes, their expressions filled with disbelief.
Grade Three Spirit Replenishing Pills were considered extremely precious items in the entire cultivation world.
Even an ordinary Grade Three alchemist might not be able to refine a Grade Three Spirit Replenishing Pill perfectly.
Therefore, every Grade Three Spirit Replenishing Pill was an incredibly valuable existence for all their sects and factions, and they were rarely used unless absolutely necessary.
Yet, Lin Chen, a mere cultivator in the middle stage of Core Formation, had actually consumed three Grade Three Spirit Replenishing Pills in one go! This was simply a waste of heaven's bounty!
For a moment, the steps of the Blazing Fire Sect elders rushing forward subconsciously halted.
For them, since Lin Chen's spiritual energy was now fully restored, it meant that he once again possessed the qualifications to use that immensely powerful flying sword.
Whoever rushed forward now would likely die even faster!
"What? Scared now?"
Seeing these people become hesitant again, Lin Chen couldn't help but reveal a trace of contemptuous laughter.
"You... we..."
Hearing Lin Chen's mockery, the group looked at each other, their eyes filled with difficulty.
"Don't just stand there! So what if his spiritual energy is back? He can at most use one more sword. Are we, so many people, still afraid of him alone?"
A cultivator in the late stage of Core Formation gritted his teeth and said to those around him.
"Hehehe, in that case, why don't senior brother take the lead?"
However, as soon as this person finished speaking, a cultivator beside him cupped his hands in a very polite manner.
Since things had reached this point, their only thought was how to survive. To confront Lin Chen head-on now would be courting death!
"Boom!"
However, while the group was facing off against each other, a sudden explosion came from above the formation beside them.
Hearing the sound, everyone instinctively turned their heads and saw that the seemingly solid formation now had a huge hole broken through it.
"Hmph, Lin Chen, you just wait! Sooner or later, this sect master will return to seek revenge!"
Seeing that he had finally broken through the formation, Wu Zhixiong excitedly uttered a harsh threat to Lin Chen and then left the formation without looking back.
"Quick, quick, follow!"
"Sect Master, wait for us!"
Seeing Wu Zhixiong escape, the group of Blazing Fire Sect elders quickly rushed towards the hole.
"Quick, Lin Chen, hurry and stop them! Don't let them escape!" kuAiδugg
Seeing this, Zhang Ying's eyes widened with rage as she shouted at Lin Chen.
It was one thing for Wu Zhixiong to escape; he was only one person after all.
But if everyone in the formation now escaped, and they turned back to pursue them, she would completely lose her ability to control the formation.
At that point, it would truly be a dead end!
Only by keeping these people within the formation and quickly repairing the breach could she perhaps continue to suppress them.
"Alright!"
"Moths to a flame, go!"
Lin Chen, with no other choice, had to use the sixth move of the Spirit Sword Art, "Moths to a Flame."
Although using this move required sacrificing a spirit artifact, there was truly no other option at this point!
Compared to their lives and his senior sister's life, a mere spirit artifact was nothing!
